A Toss of the Cap
and a Last Look at
CCI
Thanksgiving brings the colouring of leaves, the taste of roast turkey with cranberry sauce and the gathering of family and friends. This fall, the holiday also brought the return of senior students back to CCI in order to col- lect their hard earned diplomas and scholarships. Attired in black gowns and bearing the traditional school colours on their collar and caps, each grad nervously lined up prior to the ceremonies, but not before there had been many screams and hugs upon meeting old friends. The time arrived for each to cross the stage and receive their moment in the spotlight. Flashes popped and camcord- ers hummed as Dad proudly captured the moment on film. It wasn't unusual to see Mom wipe her eyes with a tissue, taking a moment to reminise a childhood that went by far too quickly and knowing that this was another step ahead in the life of their grad. It was difficult not to notice the pride on everyone's face as each left CCI for one last time as they returned home to the colouring of leaves, the taste of roast turkey and cranberry sauce and the gathering of family and friends.
The evening's ceremony began with the Senior Con- cert Band announcing the arrival of the graduating class with their rendition of 'Pomp and Circumstance'- a piece of music long associated with graduation processionals. Alex Glenfield, a former CCI student who is presently enrolled in the University of Toronto music programme, soloed '0 Canada' on his trumpet. A break in tradition was made with the introduction of 2 valedictorians, Mary Beth Savage and Michael Neil. In total 210 diplomas, 14 awards and 27 scholarships were presented to the outstanding senior class.
